Shannon Blog

Hello! My name is Donna and I am a Brand Ambassador for Shannon Fabrics. Today, I’m sharing this cute Ellie Elephant pattern from Funky Friends Factory. The idea behind making this stuffed animal was to make a gift to give to an older sibling when giving a newborn baby a baby blanket. It’s a fun way to include the sibling in welcoming the new baby!

Father’s Day 2019 is on Sunday, June 16. And since we all know that dads like to be cozy with Cuddle® minky fabric too, we’ve got some great gift ideas you can make for dad (or for any special man in your life) this Father’s Day!

You asked, we delivered! We’ve complied a gallery full of our favorite shots from the 2019 Spring International Quilt Market! As you can see, we released several new prints, colors and kits, and had plenty on display at Booth 1315.

The International Quilt Market is always one of our favorite events of the year, and we’re already counting down until the fall show — enjoy!

If you’d like to see more, or are curious about a fabric, quilt or kit in an image, feel free to leave a comment below and we’ll write back as soon as possible.

We just got back from the spring 2019 International Quilt Market in Kansas City, MO, and let’s just say it was as busy as ever! We know a lot of our audience and customers are unable to attend, so here we’re going to let you know what went on at the show and share some eye candy for you to enjoy!

Just a little background, the International Quilt Market is a textile and trim show for designers/manufacturers and fabric retailers. It takes place twice each year, one in the spring and one in the fall.

Teresa Coates, our National Educator, was a guest host on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims! She talked with Alex and Ricky about her quilting work and shared tons of tips and techniques with them on working with minky plush fabric. The show is available FREE for a limited time, starting May 5.
